About this listen

Welcome to Step Into Bold Faith — a podcast for young women who are ready to grow closer to God and walk with Jesus.


I’m your host, Whitney Gardner, a fellow wife, mama, entrepreneur, and newly converted Christian who spent years searching for peace, purpose, and joy in all the wrong places.


Once I finally surrendered to the One who had been boldly pursuing me all along, my life began to change.


Now, I’m discovering what it means to be a believer in Christ, and I’m inviting you to come with me.


Each week, I will share real-life reflections, practical resources, and answer honest questions that don't require you to be further ahead or advanced in your knowledge of the Bible.


Whether you're ready to deepen your relationship with the Lord or want to simply learn more about accepting Jesus into your life, come with me as we step into bold faith, together!


Psalm 16:11 – “You reveal the path of life to me; in your presence there is abundant joy; at your right hand are eternal pleasures.”


This show is partnered with Five Thirteen Media, a Kingdom-driven media company built on Matthew 5:13.

  • 12. How Should I Use Bible Highlighting?
    Oct 26 2025

    In this episode of Step Into Bold Faith, I explain the simple yet powerful practice of Bible highlighting — not as a way to make your Bible look pretty, but as a tool to engage more deeply with God’s Word.

    I share my personal approach to highlighting Scripture, explaining how this method can help you focus, retain truth, and strengthen your connection to God through intentional study.

    Whether you’re brand new to Bible study or you’ve been in the Word for years, this episode will help you build a more meaningful relationship with Scripture.

    • How do I stay focused when I read the Bible?
    • What should I look for when I read Scripture?
    • How can I understand and remember more of what I’m reading in the Bible?
    • What’s the best way to use highlighters or notes in my Bible?
    • How can I make my Bible study more interactive?

    Oct 22 2025

    Whether you’re new to Scripture or just want to feel more confident when you read it, this episode will encourage you to slow down, use resources to help, and invite God into the process.

    From praying before you read, to finding a physical Bible you connect with, to using simple highlighting and study methods, I walk you through approachable ways to make Scripture feel more understandable.

    • How do I actually understand what I’m reading in the Bible?

  • 10. Staying Committed to Reading the Bible in Busy Seasons
    Oct 19 2025

    In this episode of Step Into Bold Faith, I open up about the challenges of staying consistent with Bible reading when life feels busy and chaotic.

    Whether you’re juggling work, motherhood, or simply a hectic schedule, I’m here to remind you that God isn’t looking for perfection, but He is looking for our effort and consistency. I share how even a few minutes spent in Scripture can make a lasting impact.

    And I walk you through simple strategies to make Bible reading a natural part of your day, helping you focus less on rigid routines and more on your genuine relationship with God.

    If you’ve been asking questions like…

    • How can I stay consistent with reading the Bible when life is busy?
    • Does God still honor short, imperfect quiet times?
    • How can I make time for Scripture without feeling overwhelmed?
    • What does it look like to prioritize my faith when my schedule is chaotic?
    • How can I deepen my connection with God through small, daily habits?
